Subject 3 lighting test includes turning on the headlights, low beam, high beam, alternating between high and low beams, width indicator lights, and hazard warning lights. Below is relevant information about the Subject 3 lighting test: 1. Situations requiring alternating between high and low beams: when passing sharp curves or slopes at night, when overtaking vehicles ahead at night, when passing intersections without traffic signals at night, when passing arch bridges or pedestrian crossings at night. 2. Function of high beams: A vehicle's high beams can improve driving visibility and expand the field of view. When driving on roads without streetlights, the visibility range with high beams is significantly greater than with low beams. It is preferable to use high beams on roads with poor lighting conditions.

I recently passed the driving test's Subject 3, and I remember there were a total of 6 lighting-related items. During the exam, the examiner simulated different nighttime scenarios via computer, such as simulating nighttime start-up operations with lights, requiring the use of headlights and hazard lights; simulating passing through an intersection, where you need to switch between high and low beams to alert others; and simulating navigating sharp turns or slopes, where you must quickly flash your lights to avoid accidents. I found this part quite challenging in terms of reaction speed—I practiced repeatedly on the simulator until I got the hang of it. Though lighting may seem like a minor detail, it plays a crucial role in real-world driving. Improper use can send wrong signals and lead to collisions. So, don’t slack off when learning to drive—spend extra time practicing on the lighting simulator to improve safety awareness. This ensures not only passing the test in one go but also developing good driving habits.

I've been a driver for ten years, and the Category 3 lighting test generally consists of around six items, from simulating nighttime driving to switching at intersections, all testing the driver's reactions. Back when I took the test, we had to manually operate the light switches, but now they probably use electronic simulation systems. Lighting operations aren't just about passing the test—more importantly, they help avoid dangers during actual nighttime driving. For example, flashing lights when navigating sharp turns can alert oncoming vehicles, reducing accidents by 40%. New learners often overlook this part. My advice is to treat lighting training as a daily habit, as natural as fastening your seatbelt. Don't cut corners just to pass the exam—safety is what matters in the long run.

As a car enthusiast, I've studied the lighting setup for the driving test's Subject 3, which typically consists of 6 items. These include simulating nighttime starting lights and switching between high and low beams for specific road conditions. The core purpose of lighting is to convey information through different modes. For example, high beams provide better illumination in dimly lit areas, but must be switched to low beams to prevent glare when encountering pedestrians or other vehicles. The test simulates these scenarios to assess reaction skills. In actual driving, lighting rules are equally important, and incorrect usage may result in fines if caught by traffic cameras. Don't treat lighting as just a minor technique - it's the fundamental language of road communication. Mastering it properly can significantly enhance safety on the road.

My friend, a newly licensed driver, shared that there are 6 lighting operations in the Subject 3 test. The exam includes scenarios like simulating starting lights and switching lights when passing intersections. He advised us to practice the lighting sequence more, preferably using driving school apps or simulators to repeatedly trial and error, and not to press the wrong buttons due to nervousness. Although the lighting section is short, it's easy to fail. But think about real driving—poor lighting during night driving in rainy or foggy conditions can lead to major accidents. Friends, review the lighting checklist thoroughly before the exam, ensure each action is performed smoothly, and develop correct habits, which will greatly benefit road safety.

Where is the air conditioning filter of Roewe 750 located?

Roewe 750's air conditioning filter is located in the engine compartment, beneath the front windshield. If you wish to replace the air conditioning filter, it is recommended to visit a 4S shop or a professional auto repair shop and have a technician perform the replacement. The function of the air conditioning filter is to filter out particles and impurities in the air, ensuring fresh air inside the vehicle. Over time, the air conditioning filter can become clogged. If it is not replaced promptly after clogging, it will no longer serve its filtering purpose. Therefore, it is recommended to replace the air conditioning filter approximately every 20,000 kilometers. The Roewe 750 has been discontinued. The 2011 Roewe 750 model is positioned as a mid-size car, with body dimensions of 4865mm in length, 1765mm in width, and 1422mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2849mm. In terms of power, this car is equipped with a 1.8T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine and a 2.5L V-type 6-cylinder naturally aspirated engine.

What is the symbol for China National VI vehicle emission standard?

The symbol for China National VI standard is 'VI'; China National I standard is 'I'; China National II standard is 'II'; China National III standard is 'III'; China National IV standard is 'IV'; China National V standard is 'V'. On July 1, 2000, China first introduced the National I emission standard. As it was based on European emission standards and aligned with international standards, Roman numerals were also used in the symbols from National I to National VI. New emission standards have been introduced every few years since then. The National VI symbol is located on the vehicle nameplate, under the passenger seat B-pillar: 1. Check the vehicle's environmental protection label: The simplest way to identify the National VI symbol is to look at the vehicle's environmental protection label, where the 'Emission Standard' section will indicate the national standard level; 2. The 'National VI Standard' is divided into two phases: 'National VI a' and 'National VI b', planned to be uniformly implemented nationwide on July 1, 2020, and July 1, 2023, respectively. However, the National VI standard is extremely stringent; its requirements are far higher than the European Euro 6 emission standards and the U.S. Tier 3 standards, making it one of the strictest emission standards globally. The implementation period for the National VI standard will also be longer.

Where to Buy Inventory Cars?

Inventory cars can be purchased at 4S stores or car dealerships. Methods for selecting inventory cars: 1. Check the exterior: When choosing a new car, you can request to compare two models of the same type. Pay attention to the body gaps and paintwork. There are techniques for this observation—focus on the gaps between the bumper and the body, door gaps, and the gaps between the front and rear bumpers. Open the doors to check for any color differences between the interior and exterior paint. For the paintwork, good lighting conditions are crucial. The best lighting is natural daylight, as it reveals all flaws. If selecting a car in a showroom, observe it at an angle against the daylight for a similar effect. 2. Check the mechanics: A well-functioning engine should have no oil stains on the exterior, respond quickly and sensitively when started, run smoothly without shaking, produce even sounds, and have no sharp or irregular noises. When cold, the idle speed should be slightly higher, around 1,000 RPM on the tachometer. After the water temperature rises, the idle speed should drop to around 780 RPM. At this point, lightly pressing the accelerator should result in a responsive reaction without knocking or loose sounds. Touching the engine cover should reveal no significant vibrations, and when sitting inside the car, the engine noise should be barely audible. If unsure about these aspects, comparing two running engines side by side is also a good method.
